Strict grading, MY GRADING IS VISUAL AND AUDIBLE! Visual grading under a strong light source. All my records are washed on a professional cleaning machine.

If you're  not happy  tell me and we will work something out! Full refund excluding shipping fees!

 

Cover: if there’s ringwear, edgewear, seamsplits, corner bends, sticker tears, cut outs or writing on it i will state it in the description, please also see the pictures!

Vinyl:

M- == no audible or visual flaws

EX == little visible hairlines possible from taking it out of the sleeve, not affecting play at all, no scratches or feelable marks

VG++ == few longer, more obvious hairlines or a single light scratch, can have faint background crackles between the tracks or in quite parts

VG+ == under strong light vinyl has audible hairlines or a feelable scratch. play is affected by some background noise never overpowering the music, some clicks and pops possible

VG == lots of  hairlines and more scratches with background noise, still listenable and a solid playing copy, of course no skips - a decent filler copy.

VG- == this does not mean trashed but it’s not for the mint collector! Vinyl is heavy covered with hairlines, may have a long deep scratch with heavy clicks and constant crackling. Plays through - no skips. I will give exact details!

G == everpresent audible defects, much crackling, possible skips, little remaining surface gloss. I’ll only offer records in this condition if they’re really rare!!

Poor == Frisbee, I warned you!
